It could be your skincare not working with your makeup.  Or maybe the way you set your makeup.  Have you tried a different face primer or setting powder or spray?

How do you set your oily areas? @Alejandraag 

Usually you want a setting powder and/or setting spray.  Also, do you use a mattifying primer?

@Alejandraag , oil is sometimes just a thing that happens.  I know for me if it's now humid, I'm just going to be oily.  Blotting papers and a quick touch up with a powder foundation and then I'm good to go.  I know sometimes people won't 12-16 hrs, but honestly, skin is skin, so your skin is just being itself.

You can try layering powder in that area and then hit it with a finishing spray so it melts down.  After it dries, apply setting powder and then a setting spray.

Another thing you can try it adding setting spray to your foundation as you apply it, but I feel like EL double wear doesn't really need that, this trick works better with medium coverage, luminous/soft matte types IMO.
